The Wizards issued a statement on Thursday saying there was no ammunition in the locked container, and Arenas and the team have notified authorities and the league.

Arenas told The Washington Times he took his guns to the Verizon Center after his daughter, Hamiley Penny, was born this month. About a week later, he said he handed them over to team security to give to police.

“I wouldn’t have brought them to D.C. had I known the rules,” Arenas told the newspaper. “After my daughter was born, I was just like, ‘I don’t need these anymore.”’

You didn’t need the guns in the first place. When will these athletes learn from Plaxico? He shot himself and now is doing big boy time in prison. Memo to rich people. You do not need a gun. Just hire someone for protection. I respect that the reason had to do with children, but then buy a gun safe. Or, just get rid of the guns. Why didn’t you take them to the police, or back to where you bought them?

You normally would get a pass for this, since you seemingly were doing this for all the right reasons. But, this is not the first time that you have been in trouble with the law about guns. Yahoo continues…

Arenas was suspended for Washington’s season opener in 2004 because he failed to maintain proper registration of a handgun while living in California in 2003. Arenas formerly played for the Golden State Warriors.
